Jayden's Lyric Breakdown: Ch 23 Music is such a beautiful language of expression, would you agree? Blending the words of a song with a soft background instrument can be so spirit-lifting when played right. Have you ever felt the relaxing combination of a talented pianist and a graceful vocalist? Have you been privileged enough to hear a seasoned guitarist strum the strings with emotion, joined by a passionate crooner? Have you ever heard a soloist or a choir ?utter their octaves with precision while a rhythmic drummer held the tempo? The professional arrangement of music and lyrics is indescribable. I felt like Lydea and I were the combination of such when we walked in harmony. Once in a blue moon a love song was recorded by the two of us. We were like a walking soundtrack. But when the soundtrack of our relationship wasn’t spinning right, our ears could hear the scratches. Due to our status being deleted at the time, no music was heard at all. As a result, emotional stumbling blocks such as loneliness and gloom were thrown in my path. Yet, in time, those same stumbling blocks became my steppingstones. God’s guidance became my dance steps.

About the Book
The title Liquid Sunshine is a symbolic expression derived from simply taking the trials throughout life (rain) and merely perceiving them as growth from the Lord (sunshine). Understand this is the reason why sunshine and rain, good days and bad ones, have been given to us from God—so we can
grow in moderation as plants do, trusting in him.
In this story of love, life, and fi nding the will of God, Jayden Rockaway, a charming senior in college, struggles to maintain a healthy relationship with the Lord, while involved with his girlfriend and an unwanted third party. After multiple breakups and much tension between the three of them, the Lord’s will for his life is found.
Throughout this challenging experience, God paints a beautiful work of art and only by Jayden’s willingness was it created. Once he stopped chasing the temporary and meaningless things of this world and pursued the perpetual and everlasting things that God wanted for him, he mentally saw a completed image, what many call the big picture, right before his very eyes. Now, we can all agree that hindsight is a wonderful explosion of revelation; however, to receive a glimpse of a painting before it is fi nished is a gift like none other. Step into this story and share my umbrella, if you will. See how the good and bad weather of a particular season can blend together and create one
beautiful day.
About the Author
Whether or not you believe in dreams coming true, Justin Hart is living proof that they most certainly can. He knew from a young age of artistry and writing that he was called to do something with his inner passion, and that's exactly what he did.
Now after completing his first novel, Liquid Sunshine, a fictional story about love, life, and finding the will of God, Hart is smiling everyday and overwhelmed with humility. "In hindsight, I see why God gave me a desire to write as a young boy," said the former resident of Newport News, Virginia who now resides in Atlanta, Georgia. "The moment my rainy season had ended, I was left with a question inside my soul; What will you do with the story you have?" While in college, Hart experienced his "rainy season," filled with disappointments and emotional displacement, which completely saturated his life as he knew it. But with him being a firm believer in Christ, he pressed forward to the high calling of Jesus and allowed God to turn a bad circumstance into a good learning experience and an even better story. "It was truly a growing season for me," said Hart. "If I didn't perceive the rain as being for my growth, then I certainly wouldn't be the man of character that I am today. This is my sunshine."
As a man ready to give back all that he has learned, Hart diligently serves his church and community as a servant/leader. He promotes sexual abstinence to singles of all ages and is devoted to helping others find direction, purpose, and identity. Hart enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading, and participating in athletics.
